The Grapevine in Autumn.

Probably no other question comes to
US, at this season of the year, more fire..
quently than "What shall l do with
grapevines?" If we knew how the vine
has been treated through summer, and
what was its present condition, the an.
swer would be comparatively easy
one; but the probabilities are, that the
vine has not been treated at all, but
allowed to have its own way, and at the
fall of the leaf will present one of the
worst problems-a neglected vine, and
what to do with it, Each vine in this
condition will present different ap-
pearance from any other, and each re-
quires treatment peculiar to itself.
AS one stands before the vine, after the
leaves have fallen, he sees confused
mass Of old stems, and stems or canes
which grew the last season. A knowl-
edge of a few points in the manner of
growth of the vine, will be great help
to the proper treatment. In the first
place, observe that hone of the stems
now seen Will bear fruit or leaves next
year. All future growth will come
from buds, now to be seen on the canes
which grew the past summer, or last
seasons canes. By diminishing the
number of these buds, we can control
the growth Of next season. Next spring
nearly every bud will start, and produce
shoot, which will bear leaves and
trult Each of these shoots, if left to
itself, will bear three. and sometimes
more lunches Of fruit, at its lower part,
and above these it will elongate and
produce several leaves, and finally ripen
into just such cane as we are now
considering, 1t will be seen, if every
one of these canes of last season were
allowed to produce a shoot from every
one OF its dozen, or twenty, or more
buds the result would be, at the end
of next summer, a still worse tangle
than at present. Where two canes are
produced at any point or joint of the
old stem, cut out the weakest; next cut
out ali stems that stand nearer to the
one next below it than one foot; next,
shorten every cane of last seasons
growth, leaving but three buds, count,
ing from the old stem. This will re

Bird Helpers.

Mrs. Mary Treat, the well.known
entomologist, writes us predatory to her
new enlarged volume ON Injurious In.
sects of the Farm and Garden:
wish to add my testimony in few
words, by way ofpreface, in favor Of
the various birds that visit our gardens
and orchards, in the capacity of helpers,
as they feed upon some of the most
noxious insects which we have to con-
tend with.
First and foremost among these help.
ers is the purple martin. 1t is the
general impression that this bird takes
insects only on the wing, but it does
more than this. saw numbers of them
this past summer taking the rose.bugs
from the grapevines. They swooped
down and picked them off without
alighting. They circled around in com.
panies, back again to the same vine,
each one snatching off a bug as it passed
And not only the rose-bug falls victim
to its appetite, but it even stoops to take
the Colorado potato beetle. This has
been seen by others in our town, as
we'll as by myself. Put up boxes for
the martins, and see that the English
sparrow does not get possession.
The oriole is another great helper.
1t knows how to pull the bag-worm
from its case, and does it systematically
and rapidly. The tent-caterpillar and
fall web-worm it also has liking for:
it ruthlessly tears the tents and webs to
pieces and destroys untold numbers.
Allow no gunner to shoot one of these
beautiful, gaily dressed birds on your
premises-not even if the lady Of his
choice is piniDg for skeleton to perch
on her hat.
For several years past the leaves of
our elm trees have been ruined by the
elm-beetle. Last year l noticed the
cedar bird devouring the beetles aud
larvae. This year our elms are COM
paratively free from the pests. The
leaves are scarcely injured at all, and
the cedar birds are obliged to look close
to find beetle. They hunt over the
trees in small tlocks. They also destroy
many other injurious creatures. This
bird likes cherries. Raise enough for
them as we'll as for yourselves, and they
will pay you back with interest.
The catbird and red.eyed vireo both
eat the unsavory pear slug. But it is
not necessary to mention the good SER
vices rendered by our more common
birds, such as the robin; brown thrush,
catbird, bluebird, and wren, as all OBJ
serving horticulturists are aware of the
good they do. Our winter birds are
also doing good work. The seed eating
ones pick up great quantities of the
seeds of noxious weeds, while our wood
peckers, jays. and chickadees are con-
stantly on the lookout for hibernating
insects. Spare and encourage the birds,
both winter and summer. about your
home grounds and fields.-American
Agriculturist.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1887-10-21

The most aggressive and enterprlslng
of these agricultural organizations start
ed in 1880 in Illinois and now num-
bers 100000 or more members. 1t is
known as the National Farmers ALI
ance, and is exerting a powerful infu
ence in some Of the Western States.
The Allia nee has not advanced further
East than the State OF Pennsylvania, but
it is strong in several of the Western
States. An organization somewhat
similar has been started among farmers
10 the South called the "Wheel.' The
Grange is the oldest of this class of
rural population organizations and has
its branches in every state in the Union.
The following declaration is published
by the Farmers National Alliance as its
aim and purpose which every farmer
can freely subscribe to
OUR OBJECTS.
Briefly our purpose is to secure the
right. We ask for nothing but what is
right and just. Railroads are public
institution. They are built for public
service. They have been largely built
through public contributions, and Sc
cured the right of way upon the plea
that they were for the public good.
Certainly they were never intended to
become means of oppression, and yet
that is precisely what they have be-
come. Their charges are out of all
proportion to the value of the service
rendered, and the farmer in some sec
tions of the country is practically shut
out of the market by the extortion
which is practiced by these corpora
tions Justice to posterity, even if we
do not regard our own interests, de.
mands from us an earnest effort to put
stop to this unjust assessment upon
the producer and indeed upon the public
generally. The conflict in which we are
engaged is Il battle between justice and
merclless greed-between labor and
concentrated capital. This is the battle
witch we are waging against bogus but
ter and other food adulterations; against
the claims of bogus or extortionate pat
entees; against unequal taxation. All
the evils that we are suffering spring
directly from the greed Of capital Now
we have no fight against capital as such.
Nearly every farmer is capitalist to
greater or less extent. But capital has
no more rights than labor, and it has
no right to combine for the purpose of
inficting wrong. 1t is our undisputed
right to prevent this, and it can only
be done through proper legislation and
an honest enforcement of the laws; and
these things can be accomplished only
through united action upon the part
oc farmers, through which we may undo
the bad legislation of the past and guard
against similar legislation IN the future.
None of our demands have the slightest
appearance of partisanship, and hence
We may join hands for the accomplish.
ment of our objects regardless Of party
affiliation.

move large share of the old vine, but
one is likely to remove too little rather
than too much. One in pruning a ne.
elected vine needs to exercise some
imagination. In the first place he must
see that the framework ofthe old stems
and canes Of the past season will re.
main as they are; that all future growth
will take place from the buds now seen
at each joint Of the canes; let him
imagine how the vine will appear next
season, when each bud will be a shoot,
bearing leaves and fruit. IF this is i'm
agined, or foreseen, it will help in de-
Gliding how to train the vine. The
manner of doing this will depend upon
what kind of trellis or support is pro
vided. Of course, the old stems are
heavy and must be fastened firmly to
the support Then imagining that each
bud left to grow will produce shoot
that will ripen into cane, provide
something, wire or lath, to which it
may be tied.
We are often asked whether vines
should be pruned in the autumn or
spring. AS rule, autumn is the best
season; as soon as the leaves fall, or
when they part from the vine at touch.
At this season there is more time for
the work, and it is pleasanter to work
it this season, If the prunings, as is
often the case, are to be used to make
cuttings to propagate the vine, such
cuttings will root more satisfactorily
now, than if the wood is exposed to the
cold all winter.-Amer. Agriculturist

his stock to drink in winter, says the

plate, say eighteen inches square, on the
bottom of his water tank, cutting away
the wood, of course, where the iron
was. Under this plate he used an oil
